Benefits of technology

"The present invention relates to a method for producing a conductive masterbatch containing a polyamide resin and a carbonaceous filler, which can efficiently increase the output of extruding and produce a conductive resin composition with improved properties. The method involves a two-step process where a first polyamide resin is melt-kneaded with a carbonaceous filler to form a melt-kneaded product, which is then melt-kneaded with a second polyamide resin in a different ratio to achieve the desired properties. The conductive masterbatch produced using this method can efficiently increase the output of extruding and produce a conductive resin composition with improved properties."

Problems solved by technology

However, the moldability of polyphenylene ether is poor.
However, these techniques are all lab scale techniques using small extruders, and they do not take into consideration of the production of a conductive masterbatch in large quantities stably for a long time by means of a large extruder.
A formation of the die drips poses problems.
Furthermore, the strand breakage by the poor distribution of a carbonaceous filler also occurs.

[0141]Concentration of terminal amino groups: 20 micromol / g

[0142]Concentration of terminal carboxyl groups: 110 micromol / g

[0143]Pellet shape: Average pellet length: 3 mm, Average diameter of pellet cross-section: 2 mm

[0145](2-2) PA66-1 was melted in the ZSK40MC extruder set at 280° C. and pelletized using a ...

examples 1 and 2

[0161]There was prepared a TEM58SS extruder (manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd.) having inlets at least at three places, an upstream portion, an intermediate portion, and a downstream portion, of the extruder, and an open vent equipped in the further downstream of the inlet at a downstream portion. As a screw configuration of the extruder, one kneading zone was provided between the inlet at an upstream portion and the inlet at an intermediate portion, and two kneading zones were provided between the inlet at a downstream portion and a place just before a die. The cylinder temperature of the extruder between the inlet at an upstream portion and a place just before the inlet at an intermediate portion was set at 280° C.; the cylinder temperature between the inlet at an intermediate portion and a place immediately before the die was set at 260° C.; and the temperature of the die was set at 330° C.

examples 3 to 5

[0166]These Examples were carried out in substantially the same manner as in Example 2 except that the ratio of the polyamide fed through the inlet at an upstream portion to that fed through the inlet at a downstream portion was changed to the ratios given in Table 1. In Example 3, strand breakage did not occur, and the extrusion was favorable. However, a formation of some die drips was observed at the die lip part. Further, in Examples 4 and 5, a phenomenon was observed in which the torque and resin temperature during extrusion increased, and it was found that the occurrence of strand breakage and formation of die drips tended to increase, as the ratio of the polyamide fed through the inlet at an upstream portion is increased. Furthermore, in Example 3, the maximum stable output of extruding was 420 kg / h which is the feeding limit output of extruding of CB as in Examples 1 and 2, and it was impossible to measure the output of extruding at the 85% torque. On the other hand, in Examp...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for producing a conductive masterbatch containing a polyamide resin and a carbonaceous filler. The present invention provides a method for producing a conductive masterbatch which can suppress an increase in resin temperature during extrusion, formation of die drips, and strand breakage and can also significantly increase the output of extruding. The method is achieved by the steps of feeding the carbonaceous filler to a molten first polyamide to melt-knead them together and then feeding a second polyamide to the resulting melt-kneaded product to further melt-knead the second polyamide, the carbonaceous filler, and the first polyamide.

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method for producing a conductive masterbatch which can suppress an increase in resin temperature during extrusion, a formation of die drips, and strand breakage and can also significantly increase the output of extruding. Moreover, by the use of the conductive masterbatch obtained by the production method according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a conductive resin composition excellent in conductivity (a conductivity which is comparable or superior to that of a conventional material for use in a processing involving an electrostatic coating, i.e., conductivity sufficient for a material to be electrostatically coated) and surface appearance.[0002]Such a conductive resin composition can be used in a wide variety of fields, such as electric and electronic parts, parts of office automation machines, automobile parts and other mechanical parts. Especially, the above conductive resin composition is very advantage...
